Chapter 699: Panxiang (3rd Update)
Chapter 699: Panxiang
……
For the Wuxin monk, eating is far more important than alchemy.
However, when Liu Dong took out the two pieces of jade and jade, the eyes of the monk Wuxin were immediately attracted. That expression was like a wolf that had been hungry for three days, and it almost drooled when it saw the fat mutton and longed for it.
"The glass breed is imperial green, the glass breeder is cockscomb red, how did you get such a good jadeite?"
"Hehe, some time ago I went to Myanmar to participate in a jade fair, and I bought it from above! This time, I brought it over, mainly because I wanted the master to carve it into ornaments, and the remaining materials were made into bracelets, rings and other jewelry!" Liu Dong said.
"Okay, I know, just give it to me, take it in a month, you can go!" Monk Wuxin waved his hand at Liu Dong like a fly, but his eyes did not leave the two top-grade jadeites that Liu Dong placed on the table.
In this way, Liu Dong brought in a lot of things, but his ass was kicked out by the cheap master before it was hot.
Looking at the closed courtyard gate, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect that the cheap master was so fanatical about the top jade jade materials, but think about it from another perspective, if it weren't for the fact that he already had a lot of top jade materials in his hands, I am afraid that if he suddenly got such a large piece of top jade materials, he would also be as urgent.
"Yes, it seems that we just came up and are going back now!" After waving to the two little Tibetan mastiffs who were running around in the open space outside the courtyard gate, Liu Dong turned around and walked down the mountain.
The Wuxin Zen Monastery located in the back mountain of Mount Tai is not too far away from the Wohu Mountain villa where Liu Dong lives now, and it will only take a little more than half an hour for a one-way trip!
However, just when Liu Dong got off the highway and was about to turn, he suddenly stepped on the brakes. Accompanied by a screeching grinding sound. Liu Dong slowly drove the Land Rover to the side of the road. Then he opened the door and walked down, facing the middle-aged man who was looking at this side with some curiosity, and said with surprise in his tone: "Uncle Wu?"
Looking at the tall and strong young man in front of him wearing a black shirt and light gray trousers, Wu Yunxin's face showed a trace of shock, and he was more in disbelief in shock.
"Liu Dong. Are you Liu Dong?" Wu Yunxin said in surprise.
"Yes, Uncle Wu!" Liu Dong strode up.
Before Liu Dong did not make a fortune, when he was still setting up a stall outside the Quancheng antique market, the two took care of each other, although they were not relatives, but they were also like relatives, and this period lasted for more than two years.
Later, after Liu Dong stopped going to the antique city to set up a stall, the number of times the two met inevitably decreased, but every time he went to visit the antique city, he would chat with each other for a while. But since the end of last year, Liu Dong has never seen each other in the antique city.
"It seems that you kid has really made a fortune!"
After recognizing that the young man in front of him was the poor boy who set up a stall on the shore of Daming Lake with him back then, Wu Yunxin also showed a happy smile on his face.
Hear the words. After Liu Dong smiled, he didn't say much about it.
"Uncle Wu, why haven't I seen you set up a stall in the antique city for more than half a year?" asked Liu Dong with a smile.
"Anyway, your Uncle Wu has also been in the antique street for more than ten years, so you can't always set up a stall, right?"
After nodding, Liu Dong smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Wu used to drive a small three-wheeler, but now you have changed to Jinbei bread!"
"Okay, don't shame your Uncle Wu, compared to your Uncle Wu, I am far behind!" Although Wu Yunxin has a limited understanding of Liu Dong's achievements over the past year or so, he has also heard a lot about the other party's inheritance of the Agarwood Pavilion antique shop, after all, he himself is also mixed in this industry.
"I'm just lucky, by the way, Uncle Wu, what's wrong with your car?"
"Hey, I forgot to fill the oil when I came out in the morning, and I walked here and I was gone!" Wu Yunxin showed a look of remorse on his face.
"It's out of gas, it's simple, I have it in the car, you wait first!" said that, Liu Dong strode back to his Land Rover and opened the trunk.
Of course, he doesn't have any gas in his car, but his mustard space is enough to drive this Land Rover for a year!
Taking advantage of the oil injection, Liu Dong also learned about Wu Yunxin's experience during this time, although he did not have Liu Dong's explosive success and colorful experience. But Wu Yunxin's luck is also good, last year, he picked up a few small leaks in a row, bought a small shop in Hero Mountain Antique Street, became a shopkeeper himself, and now he is doing well.
Liu Dong, the antique street of Hero Mountain, also knows that in Quancheng is the thrift market second only to the antique city of Quancheng on the shore of Daming Lake, and Liu Dong has also been there a few times, but he has not picked up any major leaks.
"Uncle Wu, where are you going, isn't this the direction to go back to the city?" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"What city are you going back to, I got up early in the morning, but I want to go to the countryside!"
"Panxiang?" Liu Dong said in surprise.
The so-called Panxiang, in Quancheng mainly refers to a way of business in the countryside to collect antiques, many people in the antique shop did this before, after all, there are many people in the countryside who have good things handed down from their ancestors, and Quancheng is a thousand-year-old city, there are many graves buried underground, and many farmers like to take out the things dug out of the ground and sell them for money.
However, in the new century, there are very few people in the antique industry who still do this, mainly because the pay and the harvest are not equal, and it is better to guard the stall to deceive a few tourists, so that the money is undoubtedly faster.
And the antiques in the countryside are not infinite, after many years of looting by many small antique dealers, there are few left.
"Hey, don't underestimate this township, the reason why your Uncle Wu can have his current net worth is all because of this township, so I have made several big leaks!"
"Yes, congratulations to Uncle Wu!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
If you really want to talk about picking up leaks, it is estimated that the people in the world are not as good as him alone.
"Xiaodong, how about it? Take a trip with Uncle Wu, if we are lucky, we may be able to pick up a big leak this time!" Wu Yunxin said with a smile.
Although he didn't have much confidence in what Wu Yunxin said about picking up Liu Dong, but after a trip to Panxiang with the other party, Liu Dong agreed after a little hesitation.
Speaking of which, he hasn't worked hard with each other in the antique shop for more than a year, and Liu Dong also knows in his heart that with his future career progress, whether he wants to or not, this middle-aged uncle who has been setting up a stall with him for more than two years will gradually leave his circle of friends, just like those high school classmates who are no longer in touch with each other, the higher you go, the fewer friends you will have.
This is something that Liu Dong is very reluctant to see, but he can't change it, just like now, although he has been treating Uncle Wu with the same attitude he had more than a year ago, Liu Dong can still see a sense of distance in the other party's eyes, although this sense of distance is not far away, but he is a zài.
After agreeing to Wu Yunxin, he led the way in front, Liu Dong drove behind, and after getting off the highway, he drove for two hours, and after a bumpy road, he came to a small mountain village south of Quancheng.
There is only one stone road in the small mountain village that is barely in good condition to connect with the outside world, and it is really difficult for Wu Yunxin to find this place.
However, it is this kind of closed mountain village that may hide the precious antiques that others have missed!
"Uncle Wu, won't we drive directly into the village, and then shout at the top of our throats, right?" After seeing Wu Yunxin's bread parked at the entrance of the village, Liu Dong also stopped and walked down and asked.
"Or what do you think?"
"I!" Liu Dong couldn't help but chop.
Although when I was in my hometown before, I saw a lot of street merchants, and even Liu Dong once exchanged scrap iron, waste newspapers and other things at home for a lot of sugar cubes, although most of the things exchanged in the end went into my sister's mouth.
However, Liu Dong would never have imagined that he would have such a day, although the things he wanted belonged to antiques, not rags!
"Haha, Xiaodong, I haven't seen you so embarrassed for a long time!
Hearing this, he took the electric horn in Wu Yunxin's hand, and Liu Dong's face showed a sudden look.
Although he hadn't fiddled with this thing, it wasn't difficult to learn without a few buttons, and soon Liu Dong found the trick and played out the shouts that Wu Yunxin had recorded in advance in it, 'Collect old books, copper coins, and old vases'.
"Okay Xiaodong, put the car at the entrance of the village, let's go in!"
"Okay!"
Liu Dong nodded, he experienced Panxiang for the first time, and he thought it was quite novel!
"Uncle Wu, how did you find this village?" asked Liu Dong.
"Hey, inquire, your Uncle Wu is now a living map of Yiquan City, and there is no one in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships that I am not familiar with! Let's take Ximazhuang Village as an example, the whole village has 989 households, although there have been no celebrities in the village in recent years, but there was a big landlord here before the liberation, I heard that the family has a lot of land, and it is very famous in the vicinity, although the family business has fallen after the liberation, but there should still be a lot of good things handed down, this is our opportunity!" Wu Yunxin said happily.
"Yes, Uncle Wu! The intelligence work is meticulous enough!" Liu Dong said in surprise.
"Hehe, if you don't have these two hands, how could your Uncle Wu run so far to Panxiang!"
Liu Dong's praise made Wu Yunxin's face show a strong look of pride.
"Hey, do you two accept old copper coins?" said a middle-aged woman in a floral cloth shirt, pushed the door out, looked the two of them up and down, and hesitated.
"Yes, yes, eldest sister, do you have old copper coins at home?" Wu Yunxin hurriedly leaned up and asked.
"There are some, but it doesn't seem like you're in tatters?" said the middle-aged woman after looking Liu Dong and Wu Yunxin up and down.
"Hehe, eldest sister, we are indeed either collecting rags, or pouring some antiques and eating with a mouthful of food!" Wu Yunxin said.
Don't think that rural people are easy to deceive, although there are not many treasure appreciation programs these days, everyone knows that antiques are valuable! Moreover, Wu Yunxin is not the only person who has come down to the countryside in these years. (To be continued......)
